Abstract
Runway incursions are a major concern for modern airport in order to reduce accidents. When planes, vehicles or people are on the runway without approval a runway incursion may occur. Runway incursions could be a result of many different contributing factors from human errors to design flaws. Runway incursions are responsible for a majority of accidents at aerodromes and with growing traffic volumes; they have been raised to the top of many airports safety agenda.
The aim of this study was to look at the critical safety system of runway incursions to see what safety measures that are in place and also to analyze that system with the help of risk management tools. It was found that top management commitment to safety is very important. Finally, training and the proper use of signal systems was also an important factor in maintaining a safe runway.
